I never watch Oprah. I always thought she was a good influence, but now that I read that card, I wonder.

I am not a fan of children myself, but even though I don't like them all that much I feel a little sorry for them when they do have a stupid parent.

I have tried writing and it is really difficult for some. I did the stupid thing and stopped doing it. I know two people that are English majors and really into writing and you would never think these people as all that creative from the outside. The best advice-as has been posted before-don't give up. Even if you hate what you write, save it for another day. Perhaps something new will inspire you or you think of a way to make what you wrote better. I really wish I hadn't thrown away all the stories I attempted. Even though I hated them at the time, there was always a chance I was wrong or being too critical, or whatever, but with them gone in the trash, I don't have the chance to even go back and try.

Kids - I thought no one else felt that way...when I saw that post card it was like looking at my own words, I ALMOST did that as a secret, but didn't because it's not a secret to anyone who knows me.

Friends- seriously I have one close friend who lives 2,000 miles away, and it's been that way for 3 years. I am not lonely and I don't miss the drama AT ALL. You are stronger alone than you know, and maybe being alone for a bit will give you time to get to know your best Friend - YOU (ok I'm off my soap box now)The gallery has only 5 cards but is amazing already!

Friends-I don't really have friends anymore because of how horrible the ones I had were. I miss having friends and going out, but I don't miss the heartache. Most of the time I felt more like an outsider and a burden to the people I hung out with.

As for the other two...I don't really know what to say about them. I can't relate to the handwriting card and I don't really have any advice about the boyfriend thing. I can say both cards were really pretty though.
